Haskell County Man Arrested In Marijuana Growing Operation Bust

Law enforcement busted a large marijuana growing operation in Haskell County this week, seizing more than 260 plants and arresting one man.

Members of the Oklahoma District 18 Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force arrested 52-year-old Jody Ford after spending Thursday and Friday on his property just south of Stigler.  

They said the marijuana were growing within nine different areas.  

The task force also confiscated nine guns and a number of items related to a marijuana growing operation.

Ford pleaded guilty in 2004 to possession of marijuana and methamphetamine in Haskell County.
